I think FICS may have been hacked atleast that seems to be the case 3 months ago http://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-b ... ked-again2
Did you try to scroll down at my website? Tried Chrome and IE and both either get stuck or crush, weird.

Yes, I went around in a normal way and don't seem to have any issues... tried links and a download, np. Using Chrome here.Daniel Shawul wrote:I think FICS may have been hacked atleast that seems to be the case 3 months ago http://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-b ... ked-again2

Re: What happened to FIC?
I read somewhere that the chess server side is working and that the web server had a hard-drive problem. It has taken too much time though :(
